19th August Aviation Day

The 19th August is Aviation Day, a day to celebrate the development of aviation. It falls on and commemorates the birthday of Orville Wright. It is also a day to display all the plane books in the library for all the eager aviators that frequent it looking for books to do some plane spotting. There's so many in my library. See library pinterest page here. It is also a good time to look at all the biographies there are about aviation pioneers. These among others:

Bessie Coleman

 Louis Bleriot

Nancy Bird Walton

 John Flynn

Alberto Santos-Dumont

 Betty Skelton

Amelia Earhart

 The Wright Brothers

Ten Brave Australians
